# PayPal

> Connect PayPal to Basedash Warehouse, sync data automatically, and explore it with AI dashboards, chat, and scheduled insights.

The PayPal connector syncs your PayPal data into [Basedash Warehouse](https://basedash.com/docs/data-sources/warehouses/basedash-warehouse.md), where you can chart it, chat with it, and add it to dashboards like any other data source.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Only admins can add data sources. SaaS connectors run on Fivetran and are available on Basedash Cloud only, not on self-hosted deployments.

## Connect PayPal

1. Go to the **Data** page and select **Add data source**.
2. Search for **PayPal** and open it.
3. Select **Connect**.
4. In the Fivetran setup form that opens, sign in to PayPal or enter the credentials it asks for, then finish the form.
5. Basedash starts the first sync. When it finishes, the PayPal tables appear on the **Data** page.

The first sync backfills historical data, so it can take longer than later syncs. If you close the setup form before finishing, the connector shows **Setup incomplete**. Open it from the **Data** page and select **Connect** to finish.

## Manage the sync

Open the connector from the **Data** page to see its status and synced tables. Admins can change these settings:

* **Enabled:** turn off to pause all syncs, and turn back on to resume.
* **Sync frequency:** how often Basedash checks PayPal for new data, from every 15 minutes to every 24 hours. New connectors sync every hour.
* **Sync now:** starts a sync right away.
* **Synced tables:** choose which schemas, tables, and columns sync, and use **New data** to decide what happens when PayPal adds new ones. Save your changes to apply them.
* **Access:** choose who can see this connector's tables. See [data source access control](https://basedash.com/docs/administration/data-source-access-control.md#connectors-in-basedash-warehouse).
* **Connection details:** select **Edit** to reopen the Fivetran setup form and update credentials or configuration.

To stop syncing and remove the connector, select **Delete connector**.

## Connector details

* **Fivetran status:** Generally available
* **Tables and sync behavior:** the [Fivetran PayPal documentation](https://fivetran.com/docs/connectors/applications/paypal) lists the tables this connector syncs, any setup needed on the PayPal side, and how it handles deleted records.

## FAQ

> [accordion] How often does PayPal data sync?
>
> Every hour by default. Admins can change **Sync frequency** to anything from
> every 15 minutes to every 24 hours, or select **Sync now** to sync right
> away.

> [accordion] Can I pause syncing?
>
> Yes. Turn off **Enabled** in the connector's settings, and turn it back on
> to resume. Syncing also pauses if your organization's trial ends without a
> paid plan. Upgrade to resume it.

> [accordion] Where does my PayPal data live?
>
> In Basedash Warehouse, a warehouse that Basedash manages for you. Each
> connector syncs into its own schema. You can also [view the warehouse
> credentials](https://basedash.com/docs/data-sources/warehouses/basedash-warehouse.md#accessing-your-warehouse-credentials)
> to query the data from other tools.
